This was an absolute failure and embarrassing to write tbh. One of two lunches this week for coworkers leaving my team. I went to an American diner, chose prawn skewers which came with two sides and a dip so the fries, corn and butter, but obviously I couldn’t help myself from eating some of my friends tater tots. I didn’t even finish, I was so full. And to make things worse I then had a peanut butter milkshake, with tiny little cakes so realistically god knows how much it was. And to make matters worse I’ve only bloody MAINTAINED still since being on my fast despite lots of water. Genuinely give up. I don’t even have any bloody lax in my house to try to fix the mess of today.

Update- still feeling like utter crap. Deciding to fast tomorrow when my partner is home and just give him the whole dinner we were planning- doing so will mean I will have a fast from today 1:30pm until Friday 6:30pm- so another 53 hours. Clearly I have no self control whatsoever so motivation, meanspø, whatever, I’ll take it.

Tom Hiddleston Characters as Desserts

(Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters or images. This is just a fun listicle, not designed to offend anyone. As always, please feel free to leave comments and/or constructive criticism below. Thank you, and without any further ado, please enjoy!)

Characters in this list: Will Ransome, King Henry V, Loki of Asgard and Jotunheim, Bill Hazeldine, Coriolanus, Jonathan Pine, Robert Laing, Magnus Martinsson, Oakley, Thomas Sharpe, and Jaguar Villain! Tom Hiddleston.

Will Ransome from The Essex Serpent - Raspberry Jam and Coconut Cakes

I chose this dessert for Will because it's mentioned in the original novel The Essex Serpent (which the series is based on). Plus, the titular serpent is considered a very exotic, almost mythical creature to Will, much like how coconuts were considered a very exotic fruit in Victorian England. 

And in addition to that, the delicate nature of these little cakes is stronger than Will's loyalty (seriously, his wife Stella deserved better).

King Henry V from The Hollow Crown - Macarons

Macarons are delectable, expensive, and definitely fit for royalty. Plus, they tend to be subtle in flavor just like Henry's subtle charm, which he makes good use of when needed.

(What would Hal's favorite macaron flavor be? Something tells me French vanilla or raspberry.)

Loki of Asgard and Jotunheim, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Green Tea Cheesecake

How can Loki's dessert not have green - his signature color - in it? This is also a very decadent dessert and therefore fitting for a prince (and a rightful king). Plus, consuming green tea is linked to higher energy levels, just like how Loki excites fans all over the world. 

(Also a good match for Loki? The Swedish princess cake, known as prinsesstårta. It was named as such because princesses were believed to have been fond of the cake. It's layered with custard and jam, and covered in green marzipan. Plus, Sweden is part of Scandanavia, which practiced Norse mythology once upon a time. And as almost everyone knows, Loki is the Norse god of mischief.)

Bill Hazeldine from Suburban Shootout - Battenberg Cake

For those who haven't heard of it before, a Battenberg cake is made from pink and yellow sponge cakes, linked together with jam and coated in marzipan, which is made from almonds and sugar. It was invented to mark the wedding of Princess Victoria (Queen Victoria's granddaughter) to Louis of Battenberg, hence the name.

The pink and yellow colors reminded me of Bill's sunny, rose-tinted outlook towards life. Plus, the square shape is pretty similar to Bill's square nature as someone who is pretty straightforward and reluctant to break rules.

Coriolanus from the play of the same name - Panna Cotta with Raspberry Sauce

Honestly, one of the reasons I chose this dessert for Coriolanus is because the raspberry sauce is reminiscent of Coriolanus's bloodthirsty nature as a general of the Roman army. And much like how panna cotta has a somewhat rigid shape that cannot be easily changed, Coriolanus has a tough time changing his own nature when he enters into politics (he doesn't get along with the ordinary citizens) and it's one of the reasons he doesn't do well in his elections.

Jonathan Pine from The Night Manager - Sticky Toffee Pudding

For a man who declares himself to be English "to the core", a sticky toffee pudding seems appropriate. Not to mention, Jonathan's decision to get involved in the operation to take down a great, international arms dealer puts him in numerous sticky situations that he needs to get out of, using his wits and strength.

Robert Laing from High Rise - Tiramisu

Tiramisu - lady finger cookies soaked in espresso, layered with ricotta cheese, and dusted with some cocoa powder. Dr. Laing deserves a dessert that caters to his mature tastes. Before the events of the movie, Laing is portrayed as someone who has their life together, down to each detail. Everything is perfectly in its place, just like the layers of tiramisu. Of course, that all changes over the course of the film, just like how none of the layers remain in place while eating a piece of tiramisu.

(And speaking of lady fingers, that sunbathing scene totally made some ladies want to put their fingers…never mind, sorry. Let's move on.)

Magnus Martinsson from Wallander - Lavender Lemon Cupcakes

Honestly, this is mainly because for some reason, I associate Magnus with the cottagecore aesthetic. Maybe it's because Wallander is set in a small town in Ystad, Sweden, or maybe it's because of Magnus's curls and boyish, innocent looks. But Magnus is anything but innocent sometimes, having sarcastic remarks ready at the drop of a hat. Hence, the hint of sourness with the lemon.

Oakley from Unrelated - Cannoli

There's a couple of reasons why I chose cannolis for Oakley. Number one, the film Unrelated is set in Tuscany, Italy, and cannolis are Italian. Number two, Oakley as a character keeps a playful, hedonistic, almost arrogant exterior when on the inside, he's sentimental and has deep-seated issues with his father. It's quite like how cannolis are hard on the outside and creamy, with chocolate chips or nuts, on the inside.

(Number three, based on how Oakley talks about sex and how he mentioned having a "hard-on", it's probably true that Oakley has learned to play with his own "cannoli". Sorry, that sounded crass.)

Thomas Sharpe from Crimson Peak - Victoria Sponge Cake

Soft, beautiful, and elegantly decorated - those adjectives describe a perfect Victoria sponge cake, as well as our first impression of Baron Thomas Sharpe. Plus, strawberries are red, just like the clay surrounding the Sharpe mansion (hence the name Crimson Peak). Though if I could, I'd customize this cake to have a hot chocolate bomb or something in the center. Because while Thomas has an exterior that is immaculate and romantic (it's almost too perfect to be true), he is one dark mess on the inside. 

Jaguar!Tom Hiddleston - Dark Chocolate Brownie Sundae

Like Hiddleston's character in the Jaguar commercials, a dark chocolate brownie is well, dark, delicious, and probably rich. And the ice cream on top perfectly matches the seemingly cold demeanor of this villain. Like ice cream, some villains' cold exteriors melt under the right conditions.

[shishiikura]

My work sometimes has baking competitions and we had one for Halloween a few days ago so I entered as I always do. I made a Battenberg cake, but I did orange and purple checkerboard to be festive. The competition was really me vs one specific coworker who always wins both categories (taste and presentation) because he makes cakes that look and taste so perfect he has to provide photographic evidence that he made it himself and didn't buy it. This time it was a white vanilla cake with white whipped vanilla icing and strawberry compote on top. It was beautiful, it tasted store-bought (a little boring to me tbh) and ofc the entire office was gushing over how perfect this cake was. I was so fucking sure I was gonna lose again BUT I won for Best Presentation, and I won by SEVERAL votes!! (my coworker got best tasting, fair enough the masses love vanilla).

BUT ofc one of my coworkers (who's a bit of a dunce) was telling me how this other coworkers cake was just so perfect and so professional and she couldn't believe people didn't give him Best Presentation because they didn't think he made it himself and how unfair it was to him and I was like first of all, fuck off I won fair and square. Second, everyone KNOWS he made it and it WAS a gorgeous cake, but mine won probably because it was more interesting. Yeah it looked a little wonky and homemade but yknow what looking perfect and shiny and flawless isn't always what makes something good idk! Sometimes things that are a little less 'professional' really speak to people! Something 2 think about!

#liv rants #its kinda like that comic about the two cakes and this time its literally about cake #the coworker who was talking about how I shouldnt have won is the homophobe btw. in case it matters (it does) #it really was a battle of Mass Appeal Perfect vs Diy Weirdo and somehow the weirdo won smth #something something art doesnt have to be perfect to have meaning. or in this case a cake doesnt have to be perfect to be art

The UK's Most Famous Sweets

The United Kingdom boasts a rich and diverse culinary heritage, and among its numerous delicacies, sweets hold a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. From traditional treats with centuries-old history to modern innovations that tantalize taste buds, the UK's famous sweets offer a delightful journey through flavors and cultures. Join us as we explore some of the most iconic sweets that have become synonymous with British indulgence.

1. Sticky Toffee Pudding: Sticky Toffee Pudding, a classic British dessert, tops our list of famous sweets. This heavenly treat features a moist date sponge smothered in luscious toffee sauce. Often served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh cream, this indulgence can be traced back to the 1970s and is now a staple on menus across the UK.

2. Cadbury Dairy Milk: When discussing iconic British sweets, it's impossible to overlook the beloved Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar. Introduced in 1905, this delectable milk chocolate has become a symbol of the nation's sweet tooth. Whether it's the classic smooth version or one of its many flavored variants, Cadbury Dairy Milk continues to be a favorite treat for people of all ages.

3. Battenberg Cake: The Battenberg Cake is a visually striking delight with its alternating squares of pink and yellow sponge cake, held together by apricot jam and wrapped in marzipan. Originating in the 19th century to celebrate the marriage of Princess Victoria to Prince Louis of Battenberg, this cake continues to charm dessert enthusiasts with its unique appearance and delicious taste.

4. Fudge: How could we forget fudge? Fudge is a quintessential British sweet made from sugar, butter, and milk, creating a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth confection. It comes in various flavors and is often embellished with nuts or other additions. Fudge shops are prevalent throughout the UK, and this delightful treat has become a cherished souvenir for tourists.

5. Nougat: Another iconic sweet that has won the hearts of many in the UK is nougat. Known for its delightful chewy texture, nougat is typically made from a mix of sugar, honey, egg whites, and roasted nuts. Whether enjoyed as a standalone treat or combined with chocolate in nougat bars, this confection continues to be a popular choice for those with a sweet tooth.

RO's 1am convenience store snack run purchases?

I apologise in advance because these are once again all going to be incomprehensibly Bri ish (but hopefully educational) xoxox

Adegoke – Adegoke is generally a very healthy eater, but he’s a total sucker for salty popcorn or Mini Cheddars.

Arthur – The closest shop to Arthur is an M&S, so his snack choices are considerably more bougie. He’s a sucker for a vanilla smoothie and also those little pots of squid with the sweet chilli sauce? Arthur’s also a real humous and pitta and/or crudites kind of guy.

Atticus – Chili Heatwave Doritos are Atticus’ kryptonite and his go to late night snack – if he’s ever working through the night then he’ll definitely have a bag.

Avery – If Avery’s working through the night, she usually has to nip out and grab a bar of Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut and some Kettle chips (salt and vinegar, of course).

Charlie – Charlie has a total sweet tooth, so his go to corner shop purchases are Curly Wurlies and Kinder Surprises (and he also always builds the little toys, obviously).

Florrie – Mini Battenbergs, Jelly Babies and Love Hearts (although she can never eat a whole pack of Love Hearts because she absolutely insists on giving whoever she’s with whichever ones apply to them). If Florrie’s venturing out at 1am, it’s because she needs a sugar hit.

Griff – Skips and Milky Bar Buttons. Griff used to dress up as the milky bar kid when he was little (glasses aside, there was a striking resemblance) and it’s still his fave.

Ellis – Ellis is a total sucker for Twiglets.

Imogen – Probably Hobnobs (to accompany her tea) and Kinder Bueno.

Nyra – Haribo Tangfastics and Flamin’ Hot Monster Munch. Also probably some Monster energy drink, which she would definitely regret the next day.

Rowan – Jammie Dodgers, Cherry Bakewells and Wotsits. Rowan always has a pretty healthy supply of snacks though, so it’d have to be a real crisis for her to need to go out.

Syd – Pepperami and cashew nuts – Syd definitely prefers a savoury snack. If they could get someone to make them cheesey beans on toast then they’d totally go for that too (it’s one of the things they miss most when they’re in the US for work).

Vinh – Vinh’s taste has developed from when they had, like, 0 money, so they usually get Pickled Onion Space Raiders and Freddos.

Independence Day Cookies by your British Friend

James happened to be have a week off after a mission. Felix made the mistake of inviting him to fly over and spend the week in Florida with him. During the Fourth of July.

Naturally James baked. He had this annoying habit of claiming Felix's kitchen whenever he stayed with them. Della was the only one allowed in as Felix, apparently, 'was only going to make me burn our dinner' and Della actually helped.

Still, he should've known there was trouble afoot when Bond and Della came out with twin grins and colorfully stained hands. Felix had hardly looked twice at the red on James's hands, but the bright blue on Della's was unusual.

"Too humid for plastic gloves," Della shrugged, not really answering his question.

As it turned out, they baked red, white, and blue cookies. Cookies shaped like a Battenberg cake - a distinctly British dessert.

Recipe below, adapted from this website

Ingredients:

3 cups plain flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

Pinch of salt

1 cup of butter

1 cup of granulated sugar

1 beaten egg (large)

A few drops of vanilla essence (although maple is also good, or you can leave it out entirely)

1 Tbsp milk

Red and Blue food coloring. (Amount you need depends on the strength of your dye)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 160C/325F. (Or wait until step 12.)

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and place to one side.

Beat the butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy. (Room temperature butter works great. If you forget about that, put your butter in the sun.

Add the egg, flavoring, and milk to the mix and stir until combined. (A few minutes in an electric beater, scraping down the sides of the bowl intermittently)

Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until they form a stiff dough. (I usually have to finish this by hand just to make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't have any flour left.)

Divide the mixture in three bowls and colour one third red and one blue.

Place the dough in the fridge for half an hour.

Roll each coloured piece of dough into a thick sausage shape. (This is up to you, but I make them about 2-3 cm in diameter) Make sure the two colours are roughly equal thickness definitely equal length. Then cut each in half so that you have four equal length rolls of dough.

You then need to shape each sausage until it becomes square in shape. It's not gonna be perfect, but a rough approximation is good enough.

Place your four square-shaped sausages on top of each other to form the Battenberg pattern.

Roll out the plainly coloured piece of dough and wrap it around the outside to form the marzipan part of the Battenberg. (This step is a bit easier if you roll it out between two layers of saran wrap so that you can pick it up and lay it on top of your coloured doughs to check that it's the right size before you wrap it around for good.)

Wrap in cling film and leave in the fridge to harden for half an hour. (Or overnight. Or put it in the freezer. These are good for prepping ahead of time.)

Cut into thin slices and place on a baking tray. They will spread slightly!

Bake for about 8 minutes. They will still feel soft, but they will harden as they cool. Don’t over-bake! (A slight golden look on the outside is good)

Cool on a wire rack and enjoy – you’ve earned them!
